Timelines

Time is a thief and timelines invisible

Embedded them years in the texture of skin

Slide down the timeline of youth and sobriety

Passing the filters of acceptance and charm

All of a sudden you're rocking he cradle

Born out of love for the memory spin

One hand the rattle, the other a hammer

Racing with time is where you can't win

You can't fight time and you can't just shine on

Like in big bold American style

There is no facelift to cover the scars

So just sit back and enjoy for a while

My generation is fresh out of school

My generation is close to the rim

Shuffle the options of life's complications

Scrambling the landmarks, still wearing it thin

Trading your freedom for a lifetime achievement

Sign up for life on a path that grow dim

Chained to the customs and daily routines

Things will be different, but God knows when

You can't fight time and you can't just shine on

Like in big bold American style

There is no facelift to cover the scars

So just sit back and enjoy for a while

The ticking of time is non reversible

So sit back my friend, enjoy the ride

All of a sudden you're rocking he cradle

Born out of love for the memory spin

One hand the rattle, the other a hammer

You know racing with time is where you can't win
